Celebrities & politicians bid farewell to Bal Thackeray

A sea of humanity poured onto the streets of Mumbai on Sunday to bid adieu to Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray.

India's entertainment and financial capital ground to a halt as 86-year-old Thackeray's cortege slowly wound its way through jostling crowds from his home Matoshri in Bandra East to Shivaji Park, the venue of his large rallies, where his mortal remains were consigned to the flames.
